How to find the air conditioning leak on an Opel Astra H

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Air conditioning

In this video we can see how to find leaks that occur in the air conditioning radiator of an Opel/Vauxhall Astra H: first we need to remove the cooling fan located in front of the radiator. To check for leaks, the youtuber uses OFN (oxygen-free nitrogen); being an inert gas it does not react with other materials and does not corrode the components of the cooling system, which must be completely emptied and filled with this liquid to which soapy solutions are added, in order to make the bubbles more visible, which we can see well in the rear area of the radiator.
